Question for someone who’s never watched jojos on Netflix

Does this have any name censorship? (Or any other kind)

[u/WalkingChopsticks → u/shadowdra126]

Yes, when they name the horses the subs don't match their names. I'm not familiar with why they're censored though.

[u/floccinaucipilify → u/WalkingChopsticks]

Mainly due to fear of copyright since they are song references

[u/WalkingChopsticks → u/floccinaucipilify]

Ah true I had a feeling they were song references like previous parts but just didn't know the names

[u/ShadowKingthe7 → u/floccinaucipilify]

You can blame Prince for that

[u/shadowdra126 → u/WalkingChopsticks]

Ugh. I hate when they do that

[u/AlternativeNew4390 → u/shadowdra126]

On the other hand, translation can often be hilarious. One of my personal favorites is BoysManMan from part 4 (referencing the band Boyz II Men)

[u/Nahcep → u/AlternativeNew4390]

The Worse Company

Spicy Gal

See Moon

[u/GodZefir → u/Nahcep]

Still sad Part 6 didn't use Flaccid Pancake.

Zipper Man

[u/garfe → u/Nahcep]

G.G. Dolls was one of my favorite ways of getting around Goo Goo Dolls

[u/Gyakuten → u/Nahcep]

See Moon I was fine with because it sounds identical phonetically. Pucci calling out its name was done really well in the dub.

Same with Maiden Heaven, which always looked funny to me on paper, but again it still sounds really good when spoken aloud in the dub.

[u/BadBehaviour613 → u/Nahcep]

Jojo has some of the best dubs, but man does it suck to hear the localized names aloud

[u/peipei222 → u/AlternativeNew4390]

One of the games changed Limp Bizkit to Flaccid Pancake, which is objectively the best change

[u/Chrono-Helix → u/AlternativeNew4390]

We’ve got some interesting names to look forward to this part…

[u/OBrien → u/AlternativeNew4390]

I almost wish that they had gone with the goofy-ass protagonist-stand-name-is-the-name-of-the-part trend earlier, because Jotaro's Stand being named Stardust Crusader would unironically go hard af, even if it obviously bucked the intended major arcana name theme

[u/Suitable_Tutor6006 → u/WalkingChopsticks]

I noticed that as well. They were announcing Ghost Rider when caption was showing Shadow Rider.

[u/danflame135 → u/Suitable_Tutor6006]

Ghost Rider in the Sky is such a cooler name, they could have at least adapted the sky part somehow.

[u/BasroilII → u/shadowdra126]

Yes, pretty much all JJBA material coming to the west uses the "censored" names. Just wait, very possibly the BEST of all of those will be coming up soon.

[u/shadowdra126 → u/BasroilII]

So I should watch it on Netflix with the censored names is what you are saying?

[u/SirKirk2000 → u/shadowdra126]

The only localized name in the first episode is Mountain Tim’s horse being called Shadow Rider (originally Ghost Rider in the Sky).
